Today’s news media is changing fast. Independent media and freelance journalists’ numbers have mushroomed, yet just a handful of network giants are raking in millions of dollars a year. What the news elite envision for us is a slightly deeper version of paid-per-view online news streaming.

This is why since 2015, every month Asian Green News (AGN)features articles on exploratory topics including in politics, healthcare, the environment, social justice, and technology. What makes us different is we are willing to embrace the Green Party platform perspective because its ideals exemplify what we ought to feel comfortable talking about anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

AGN strives to do this in ways which are authentic, thought-provoking, and relevant. You will not find syndicated content cleverly rearranged and regurgitated. Instead, our news coverage is consciousness-raising and ground-breaking whether providing investigative pieces or traveling on-assignment to cover people’s grassroots events.

To this mix, we add an Asian-American twist to help grow public awareness of America’s Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) population. This includes voicing more humanitarian concerns and cultural ideals, and utilizing inclusionary resources whenever possible. The result are products designed to help broaden the discursive framework.
